Can you ID this moth?

Forgot we took this pic last year of a rather large moth sunbathing on a marigold. What is this?

Looks like this may be it...

Looks like some type of horn-worm moth. not all horn-worm type moths eat tomatoes.

Here is a picture of a Horn worm that eats only the Cissus Trifoliata vine.
It loses it horn at maturity.
I took this picture back in 2006 and found it on Google

Looks like a clearwing hummingbird moth to me.

I'd say hummingbird moth as well. I had them here for the first time a few years ago.

So these clear-winged hummingbird moths don't have the kind of hornworms that eat maters? I'm asking because these marigolds were right in front of my toms last year. There is a honeysuckle close by so it probably liked that too.

Hey worth - is there a picture here? I've had a few problems seeing folks pics for some reason.

Well that's just weird. I'm at work so I need to try to remember to look at again tonight at home from my personal computer. I can see the marigold pics I posted. Don't know why I'm having trouble with just some now and then.

The images are in different places. The marigolds are here

and the Horn worm is here.

So either your work computer has photobucket blocked or it has external links blocked. I suspect the latter as a security measure.

There I fixed it I think.
I haven't been on photobucket for many years I hate the place like I do any other photo sharing site.
Too many pop ups and too much junk mail.

Here it is again I hope, this one is linked to my computer.
